Geneva's men's basketball team led with less than five minutes left, but a career-high 30 points from Ethan Moose and a six-point halftime lead wasn't enough to prevent a second straight loss Monday in Steubenville, Ohio, this time to Franciscan.

The Golden Tornadoes led 58-56 with 4:11 left and trailed by just one with a 1:01 left, but Franciscan's balanced offense fueled by Matt Trent (22 points, 15 rebounds), Sean Hickey (15 points, four assists) and Juwan Perkins (13 points, four rebounds) shot 51 percent in the second half, including 37.5 percent from 3-point range to secure a 69-66 win.

Geneva, now 2-3 overall, begins conference play on Wednesday at Bethany College in West Virginia. Bethany's last action was in a 79-63 loss against Penn State-Altoona on Nov. 20. Bethany is 1-4.
